Sourdough Pizza Crust
- Yield: two 11" round thin-crust pizzas, or one 13" round thick crust pizza
Ingredients
- 1 cup 100% hydration sourdough starter, unfed (straight from the fridge)
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, flours, salt, and yeast. Use the dough hook on low speed to mix for a few minutes, then increase the speed to medium and knead until dough is smooth and pliable, about 5-7 minutes. If dough seems too dry, add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and allow to rise until doubled. Because this recipe has only a little yeast and it relies mostly on the sourdough for the rise, this takes longer than traditional yeast pizza doughs. I usually start my dough in the morning and leave it on the counter anywhere from 4-6 hours. If you need a faster rise, increase the yeast to 1/2 teaspoon.
